It was not until the Allied Forces of Cao Cao safely passed through Biyang and passed the front line of Maojiaji without any fighting that Fu Zonglong realized that Zuo Liangyu and he had completely broken up, and he could only look at his own abilities from now on.
Fortunately, he still had an ace in his hand, and that was He Renlong, a member of the Qin army who was known to be good at fighting.
He Renlong had long been extremely dissatisfied with Fu Zonglong's conservative attitude of avoiding war. Now he finally got a good opportunity to show off his talents, and he was naturally in high spirits.
Based on the situation during the Battle of Luoyang, he did not think that the rebels were very difficult to deal with. He even thought that the Chuang-Cao coalition attacked Xinyang first, then attacked Lincheng, and ran for hundreds of miles in several days, and now ran from Lincheng to Biyang.
, after going in so many circles, the whole army must be exhausted and have already reached the edge of collapse.
He Renlong was so confident that he led 3,000 Qin army cavalry and 1,000 elite cavalrymen from Fu Zonglong's supervision. A total of 4,000 elite cavalry quickly pursued him, and finally caught up with Chuang in the area south of Maojiaji and north of Tongbai Mountain.
The tail of Cao's coalition forces.
Madman He was very confident. When he chased them to the vicinity of Maojiaji, he found that the intruders and Cao coalition troops were in a hurry, with a large number of deserted soldiers. He captured hundreds of coalition soldiers without any fighting.
Based on this, he immediately judged that the Chuang-Cao coalition forces had almost exhausted his soldiers in their continuous maneuvers.
It should be said that although Madman He's military discipline was poor, his reputation as a famous general of the Qin army was indeed not in vain. As a powerful force of the Qin army, He Zhen's cavalry was indeed very ferocious.
As soon as he discovered this fighter plane, without waiting for the infantry group led by Fu Zonglong to arrive, he led thousands of cavalry alone to attack the exhausted rear ranks of the coalition forces, and immediately achieved great results.
Because the former Biao Army lost a lot of troops and horses when attacking Yancheng in the previous stage, and Li Laiheng insisted on the coalition forces transporting all the artillery, they are now in the middle of the coalition forces and have not been attacked by He Renlong.
direct attack.
Li Laiheng rode his horse and rushed to a small slope. Looking back from a distance, he was shocked to see the Qin army's cavalry raiding the rear of the Chuang army. He knew that after several days of fighting and running around, the soldiers of the Chuang-Cao coalition had
Their physical strength was extremely exhausted, and many people were very dissatisfied with the coalition's seemingly aimless style of attacking from the left to the right.
It can be said that at this time, the morale and morale of the Chuang Cao Allied Forces were at a very low point!
He Renlong launched a decisive and brave surprise attack, almost hitting the rebel army's fatal point.
He Renlong's two generals, one named Zhou Guoqing and the other Dong Xueli, were both known as brave generals in the Qin army. They each led their cavalry to attack the center of the rear army, almost breaking through the center line, and completely defeated the rear army.
, the situation is very critical.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the tired soldiers in the rear were cut down like wheat straw by the Qin army. Li Laiheng was anxious when he saw a streak of smoke rushing out from the flank of the rebel army and killing He Renlong.
It was when Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai discovered that the rear team was raided by the army, they made a prompt decision and transferred Liu Fangliang, who was originally on the right wing of the coalition team to cover the task.
Liu Fangliang's subordinates were mostly the most capable Three Wall Cavalry of the Breaking Army. Their combat power was not inferior to that of Madman He's elite servants and Fu Zonglong's Supervisor, and was even better.
However, there were not many people in the three walls after all, and rushing towards them did not immediately turn the tide of the battle. Luo Rucai then mobilized his own troops and asked Yang Chengzu and Luo Yanqing to rush to the rear with Cao Ying's troops to help.
The coalition forces gathered a total of nearly 2,000 cavalry to support the rear team, but they were unable to stop Madman He's fierce charge and attack for the time being.
Li Laiheng could see more and more tired soldiers in the central army. Before they could fight He Renlong, they threw away their weapons and fled in all directions.
"He Renlong's timing of attack was so good. We have never fought such a useless battle!"
Even Guo Junzhen, who had always had his eyes high, had to admire He Renlong's tactical sense. Hao Yaoqi, Ai Zhuo and other cavalry generals asked Li Laiheng to mobilize them to attack.
"It's better to wait and see! Now the rear team is being charged into chaos. Without the order of the generalissimo, all the troops are not allowed to move without permission. Otherwise, it will stir up chaos in the whole army and cause a great rout, which will be irreversible!"
However, the interceptions of Liu Fangliang, Yang Chengzu, and Luo Yanqing's cavalry teams failed to have much effect for a while. He Renlong's tactics were very targeted. He did not use the rebels' fine cavalry to hedge, but concentrated on attacking the coalition's rear team, which exhausted their physical strength.
tired soldiers.
Most of these soldiers, who were already half-tired, were immediately defeated by such a fierce offensive. Thousands of broken soldiers blocked the road, blocking Liu Fangliang's way of reinforcements, and many others were driven by He Renlong to the coalition forces.
It caused even greater chaos within the squadron.
"It'll be over if this continues!"
Another large group of rear troops broke out and rushed over. Li Laiheng did not expect that the previous battles were so smooth. However, He Renlong caught up with him and rushed forward. The Chuang Cao coalition army was shaken on all fronts and collapsed as a whole.
The momentum!
If Fu Zonglong led the infantry brigade to arrive in time, the situation would be unimaginable.
"Where's Li Shiwei? Gather all the cannons here!"
Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai dispatched a lot of pro-army cavalry to reinforce the rear team. However, due to the increasing number of soldiers in the rear team being defeated without fighting, a large number of defeated troops blocked the road, making it impossible for the defeated soldiers to escape and for the reinforcements to rush in.
He Renlong went on a killing spree, charging more and more fiercely. Li Laiheng was determined and directly asked Li Shiwei to gather several red cannons, and aimed the muzzles at the crowded rear team and opened fire directly!
The slender barrel of the Hongyi Cannon roared, and the lead bullets streaked across the sky and exploded into the crowd, smashing the defeated soldiers and He Renlong's cavalry to pieces.
The generals of the invading army were all shocked. Tian Jianxiu, who was known for his generosity and loyalty, even cursed angrily: "Who did this? Li Laiheng! Are you crazy! What are you doing!"
But Li Zicheng was much calmer. He found that He Renlong's cavalry was retreating after being bombarded by artillery fire for a while, and the defeated soldiers also jumped to both sides one after another, clearing a road in the middle. He and Luo Ru just faced each other.
After taking a look at each other, the two leaders made the same choice immediately. Without waiting for Tian Jianxiu's objection, they both led the guards around them and rushed into the rear group.
"ha!"
Li Laiheng couldn't help shouting "Hello", horses' hooves stamped, swords flashed, and suddenly war drums and killing sounds started.
The melee was unprecedentedly fierce. Both sides were brave and capable men, and they refused to give in to each other. Liu Fangliang was superb in martial arts and once captured He Renlong's banner, but in the blink of an eye, he was snatched back by Dong Xueli, the general of the army.
In the melee, even the cavalry of the three walls were killed, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. At the critical moment, Liu Fangliang was hit by the Qin cavalry with a three-eyed blunderbuss and fell from his horse. The soldiers' morale was shaken immediately, and the officers and soldiers cheered thunderously, thinking that they had already
